Insulated metal panels (IMPs) have been around for several years and continue to play an important role in building construction as they offer many benefits and incentives. They consist of two single-skin metal panels and a foamed-in-place core. IMPs are sealed at the side laps and all perimeter boundaries. The excellent R-values that are achieved with IMPs provide enhanced energy performance for buildings utilizing our products.
Using IMPs for your building projects yield many advantages, not only for the building owner, but also for the building designer and erector.
• IPS panels are strong enough to allow for fewer structural supports than
single skin panels due to greater spanning and load bearing capabilities,
providing an economical and efficient building envelope.
• IMPs allow for fast erection times and easy installation, resulting in reduced
labor costs and earlier business starts.
• Metal roof and wall systems require minimal maintenance and can lead to
potential cost savings over their lifetime, including energy costs, maintenance
costs and more.
• Because of the insulating capabilities of IMPs, less insulation space is needed to
comply with building energy efficiency codes compared to fiberglass systems.
Buildings using non-rigid insulation such as fiberglass can require up to four
times the amount of insulation space compared to IMPs.

• Manystateandlocalfinancingandtaxincentivesexistforenergyefficient

As newer standards and stricter codes call for more environmentally friendly and energy efficient buildings, IPS panels accommodate your needs to meet these requirements:
• IPS panels qualify as continuous insulation (ci) where required by the International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC) and ASHRAE 90.1. Continuous insulation is a product that runs continuously over structural members and is free from significant thermal bridging.
• Having been tested for air infiltration, IPS panels have the ability to function as Continuous Air Barriers (CABs) with their unique self-sealing side joints when properly detailed and installed. By keeping the internal and external environments separate, CABs enhance energy efficiency and are required by newer building energy efficiency codes and standards.
• Using IPS panels mitigates thermal drift, a degradation of R-values over time. Thermal drift is a prevalent factor when using un-faced polyisocyanurate rigid board insulation, which can lose up to 20 percent* of its performance value over time and decreases the R-value of materials. Because the foam faces are covered with impermeable steel skins, IPS panels will keep a constant R-value for many years.
• The high R-values of IPS panels offer optimized energy performance and reduced energy consumption. This results in smaller emissions of greenhouse gases and reductions in energy costs. IPS panels can provide more than 5 percent cost savings on your energy bill over traditional systems. Furthermore, the lower peak gains experienced when using IMPs can greatly reduce the required capacity of your HVAC system, resulting in up-front cost savings.
• All of IPS’s interior and exterior single-skin panels are comprised of 25 to 35 percent recycled content and are virtually 100 percent recyclable.
• IPS roof panels are also available in a wide variety of Cool Roof colors, providing energy savings and reducing a building’s cooling loads. Cool metal roofing also helps mitigate urban heat islands (UHI). * Based on ASHRAE 90.1 requirement (R=5.6 per inch) versus typical
manufacturer’s claim (R=7 per inch).

urban Heat islandsAccording to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), urban heat islands consist of
urban and suburban temperatures that are 2°F
to10°Fwarmer thannearby ruralareasdue to
the inability to cool because of the modification
of the land surface by urban development and
waste heat generated by energy usage.

R-value, u-valueand K-FactorR-value is used to describe one of the
proper ties of insulation; it measures
resistance to heat flow. A higher R-value
provides increased insulation. K-factor,
or thermal conductivity, is the measure
of a material’s ability to transfer heat. A
lower K-factor is preferred. U-value is the
measure of how much heat is conducted
through a given area of material. Again,
a lower U-value is more beneficial.
U is equal to 1/R. For example, amaterial
with a U-value of 0.25 has an R-factor
of1dividedby0.25,whichisequalto4.
